A once beautiful nation has become a joke. Add to the list the fact that they can't even print anymore money because the company that prints their money has refused to print more because the government hasn't paid the printing bill.
And Maduro is trying to keep the natives restless by claiming that this is all a US plot.

You'd be happy there. Possession of small amounts of weed aren't against the law and they have a two day work week.
Did they run out of oil or something?
Free healthcare and college for everyone!
You know what's frightening about that? The fact that there is a large group of his supporters out there that seem to believe he can make that happen without the consent of congress, which would be highly unlikely.

LMAO. No, but Maduro, like Chavex before him, has been using PDVSA (the national oil company) as a jobs program for their supporters. Consequently they have one of the highest production costs of oil producing nation. They're pumping it alright,but they're losing their ass along the way.

More accurately many Bernie supporters don't consider themselves Democrats and have no loyalty. Shit happens though.
So then this isn't an example the failure of socialism. It's an example of corruption succeeding too well.
Thanks! You're always a font of information.
Depends on your POV sweetie. Most of the jobs in the old Soviet Union were job programs. Same in Cuba. Loyal 'party' members just got rewarded with the better jobs (I almost typed 'better paying jobs' there but in those sort of nations no one ever really gets paid.)
